500ml bottle (best before 20 November 2011) @ Christmas tasting on 28 December 2010. Yep, itís amber. I didnít find this as enjoyable as most of the other Kernel beers Iíve tried. Sure the citrus is there but it didnít seem as hop driven as Iíve come to expect from Kernel. And I think itís that hugely hop forward character that generates much of the appeal for me. The slightly darker malt, caramel-tinged accent and a bit of fruity sweetness didnít really float my boat. Still a relatively tasty and well balanced beer though.

Bottle; picked up @ brewery - thanks Evin!
Consumed @ Chris Oís pre-NY tastings.
Lovely us hoppage aroma; oranges, marmalade, citrus. Taste is oranges, cream, oil, marmalade and citrus. Very oily and fruity in the finish. Stunning hopy aroma. Taste lets it down a tad but will have this again no doubt on a fresher palate.
